Top Gainers and Losers: Swiss Franc and Australian Dollar
Top Gainers - global market
Over the past 7 days, the US dollar index has remained almost unchanged. Investors were disappointed by the increase in United States Unemployment in February to 3.6% from 3.4% in January. The probability of a Fed rate hike (4.75%) by 0.5% at the March 22 meeting fell to 48%, compared to over 70% in the middle of last week. This weakened the US dollar on Friday, but it was still able to maintain growth against some currencies over the past week. The Swiss franc strengthened in anticipation of further tightening of monetary policy by the Swiss National Bank (1%) at its meeting on March 23. This was helped by the increase in the Switzerland Consumer Price Index in February by 3.4% y/y, with most market participants expecting inflation to decrease to 2.9% y/y. The Australian dollar weakened as investors decided that the Reserve Bank of Australia's 0.25% rate hike to 3.6% from 3.35% may not be enough given the inflation rate of +7.8% y/y in the fourth quarter of 2022. The New Zealand dollar also demonstrated a weakening, along with the Australian dollar. This was compounded by the decrease in New Zealand Manufacturing Sales by -4.7% q/q in the fourth quarter of 2022, after a growth of +2.6% in the third quarter. It is worth noting that on March 16, New Zealand GDP for the fourth quarter will be published, which theoretically, after the decrease in sales, may also disappoint investors. Cryptocurrencies fell in price amid difficulties in the operations of the cryptocurrency company Silvergate.
